Firefox Community Forum

I've tried everything. Nothing seems to work.

The new Profiles menu option will not go away. I have no use for it, will never use it and I accidentally select it since they stuck it right next to bookmarks. Pretty poor decision.

If there is not way to remove it then after 30 years I will be dropping Firefox.

Hi there,

I'm running the latest Firefox here on my trusty old Intel Mac Pro on Big Sur. Keeps on truckin'. However, just now I looked and the Mac said it had "Rebooted because of a problem". All my open tabs came right back up in Firefox and my Search History is fine. But when I click on the Address Bar I no longer get the list of top sites that I often visit, NY Times, banking, social media, etc. Why would that suddenly just disappear, and how can I get it back?

Thanks for any tips! - Steve

Moderator note: This question has been edited to correct the formatting.

Whenever Firefox offers or I request a translation it always, without fail, offers Estonian as the destination language.

I deleted all the languages from the app (or whatever) and just downloaded the ones I require but that made no difference.

My Macbook wasn't responding, so I restarted it and force quit all applications. When I opened Firefox again, none of my bookmarks showed on my bookmarks bar. The bar itself is not hidden. I checked to make sure I have the same profile I always use open and I do. I also tried to go into Bookmarks, Manage Bookmarks, Import, but nothing is available to import.

Recently Yahoo News loads and disappears running Firefox on MAC. I cleared the cookies in the settings but the problem still exists. There is no issues with Yahoo News running on Safari but Firefox has been my choice for years. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Keep getting prompted to active VPN but every time I try it just keeps looping back to the sign in start pop up. The VPN button is always gray with an X even after sign in.

I try to compose an e-mail and the address appears from contact list but when you click on it to put in the address in displaces the first two letters and a cross in red. the adress does not work therfore and Ihave to typr it in every time. Very annoying if there are multiple p[eople to send the message t@!'

Hey,

after looking through many Forums and solutions on the internet, nothing can resolve my issue, so i hope this one can help. I just switched to Firefox and have the reaccuring problem, that i cannot load sites, that are located in my local network (e.g. homeassistant.local; 192.168.8.265:2283).

I always get a "server not found" error from firefox and the certificate information, that i am communicating through an unsecured connection (haha, yes good joke firefox. I know my local services do not all have an SSL certificate.) I already tried altering settings for Proxy, DNS over https, MACos Safety settings but nothing helps. I am jsut looking for that one "trust this domain" button, that i get on 'ALL OTHER BROWSERS like Chrome, Safari and Edge...

P.S.: All the services are up and running and i can reach them through any other Browser.

In previous versions of Firefox, using an alternative search engine was seamless: I just typed my keywords and clicked the specific search engine icon.

With the current update, the workflow is much longer. Now I have to:

1. Type the keywords 2. Click the dropdown arrow 3. Select the alternative search engine icon 4. Hit Enter

Why was this UX change made? It feels like a step backward.

i used to be able to access Gemini by clicking an icon in the leftmost column of any Firfox screen. I nw get an error 502 message. How can restore access to Gemini

When opening websites the images are not opening, only blank boxes appear. I don't have any settings for security causing problems because I turned them off previously. simply cannot find what is driving this. Thanks, Don

Hi there.

Since quite a while Firefox is trying to enhance our browsing security by "upgrading" connections from "http" to "https." This may generally be a good idea, but it is literally driving me crazy at the moment because it also does so for "internal" sites I host within my LAN (such as my "Home Assistant" instance or a Zigbee coordinator, accessible via its own hostname and web UI). However, these connections will fail, because I don't have certificates for my internal hosts, and thus there is no "https" listener. :-(

(I use my own subdomain "<host>.city.internal.example.org" internally, so Firefox may be confused?)

I feel this behavior has become "more aggressive" within the last few days, so maybe it is due to a Firefox update?

Is there a bullet-proof way to prevent Firefox from doing so?

I've already set the below options to false: - dom.security.https_first - dom.security.https_first_for_custom_ports - dom.security.https_first_for_local_addresses - dom.security.https_first_for_unknown_suffixes - dom.security.https_first_pbm - dom.security.https_first_schemeless - dom.security.https_only_mode - dom.security.https_only_mode.upgrade_local - dom.security.https_only_mode_pbm

Help, please!

I'm close to abandoning Firefox in favor of a different browser, because at the moment it's close to being unusable for me anymore... :-(

Kind regards,

Ralf
